Malice

And you were sweeped in like a stain
Like a chip knocked from your brain
Came fallin' down onto the floor
That is your life

But to a demon in the rye
Is just the moment he can try
To show you why

'Cause I could stab you in the eye
And I could make you wanna die
But it won't change the way I feel inside

Kicking rocks down through the drain
Like a hard summer rain
And washing off all the sins
You'd done that night

'Cause you could hide her from the night
And you could shield her from the light
But is it right?

Boy, she could stab you in the eye
And she could make you wanna die
But it won't change the way she feels inside

And fingers locked through the devil's hands
As he guides you to the end
You're wishin' wonderin' what to do
And were you right?

And at this pulpit, I did stand
With severed eye and broken hand
To face the end

And I could stab him in the eye
And I could make him wanna die
But it won't change the way I feel inside

And we'll be rotting beneath the trees
Laid amongst our own debris
And maybe darlin' that's the place
We're meant to lie

And oh, my true love it was I
Who lay the poison in the pie
So we could die

And I would hold you through the night
And we'd be gone by the morning light
And it might change that way we feel inside

'Cause I would hold you through the night
And we'd be gone by the morning light
And it might change that way we feel inside
